You are an economist for the City Subway Commission. Presently, the price of a subway ride is 80 cents, and 250000 seats are filled weekly. The price elasticity of demand for subway rides is -0.40, and the income elasticity of demand is -0.60. (A) If a recession lowered area incomes by 5%, how many additional seats per week would the subway need?
The figure to the right illustrates the demand for taxi rides in a large city. Suppose the price per ride is initially $35 but then falls to $25 due to a recession. What is the price elasticity of demand for taxi rides? Using the midpoint formula, the price elasticity of demand is. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) Demand is unit-elastic inelastic elastic C Price (dollars per taxi ride) 60- 55- 50- 45- 40- 35- 30- 25- 20- 15- 10- 5- 0+ 0 A B D 40,000 80,000 120,000 160,000 200,000 240, Quantity (taxi rides per day)
The aggregate demand for a cup of coffee in Chicago is given by q = 4,000 - 500 p, where p is the price of a cup of coffee. If the price is $4, then the price elasticity of demand for coffee is

Looking for help on how you would go about solving the following problem: The following functions represent the demand and supply for hair cuts. QD=300-6P QS=2P-20 what demand function would accurately represent an increase in demand for hair cuts? QS=450-6P QD =150-6P QD =450-5P QD =450-6P
Gasoline for cars is produced in a market. There are equations for the Supply and Inverse Demand of car gasoline that model its Supply and Demand graph. These equations are (for supply), P = 20 + Qs, and (for Inverse Demand), P = 80 - Qd. Due to gasoline shortages, some sellers may be able to get access to more gasoline and produce it better than others. As a result, the federal government placed a quantity restriction of 15 units on the sellers. (Part I) Draw the market equilibrium with the government intervention (Q** and P**) of the quantity restriction. Please label the graph for slopes, the equilibrium point, etc. (Part II) What is the market equilibrium without the intervention of the government? (Part III) The government decided that the previous quantity restriction was not sufficient. So, it increased the restriction from 15 units to 20 units. Consequently, what is the new market equilibrium point with this new intervention? It is not necessary to label this point on the…
Above is the demand schedule for tickets to a Carnegie Hall performance of the Grateful Dead. Carnegie Hall seats 1,800 people. What is the equilibrium price and quantity for a concert of the Grateful Dead at Carnegie Hall? If tickets were sold for $18, what would happen (be specific)?
Suppose the supply equation is: Q = 11 + 0.40p. What is the price elasticity of supply if the market price is $13? (round your answer to three decimal places).
Q. Wilpen Company, a price-setting firm, produces nearly 80 percent of all tennis balls purchased in the United States. Wilpen estimates the U.S. demand for its tennis balls by using the following linear specification: Q = a + bP + cM + dPR. Where Q is the number of cans of tennis balls sold quarterly, P is the wholesale price Wilpen charges for a can of tennis balls, M is the consumers’ average household income, and PR is the average price of tennis rackets. The regression results are as follows: a- Discuss the statistical significance of the parameter estimates a^, b^, c^, and d^ using the p-values. Are the signs of b^, c^, and d^ consistent with the theory of demand? Wilpen plans to charge a wholesale price of $1.65 per can. The average price of a tennis racket is $110, and consumers’ average household income is $24,600. b. What is the estimated number of cans of tennis balls demanded? c) At the values of P, M, and Pr given, what are the estimated values of the price (E^), income…
Viking Publishing House observed that in the recent years books on nature conservation and climate change have been very popular. As a matter of fact, Jane Goodall's latest book, "The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for an Endangered Planet" has been a best-seller and Viking estimates the following demand curve for the book: P = 150 - Q In this equation, P is the price of the book and Q denotes yearly sales in thousands 20,000 books would be expressed as Q = 20 books. In other words, Viking estimates that it incurs a cost of $40 for printing and shipping of each book and pays a $10 royalty to Jane Goodall for each book sold. a. Calculate the profit maximizing OUTPUT and PRICE for this book. Also, calculate the TOTAL PROFITS.
